Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System

The Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System (NABOS) is a scientific program that studies the Arctic's Nansen and Amundsen Basins—large underwater areas beneath the Arctic Ocean. Using advanced technology like research ships, autonomous vehicles, and underwater sensors, NABOS collects data on ocean conditions, sea ice, and climate changes. This information helps scientists understand how the Arctic responds to global warming, influences weather patterns, and impacts sea levels. Overall, NABOS provides critical insights into Arctic processes, aiding in predictions and informing policies related to climate change and safety in the region.
